I built a light weight system using the Asrock Q1900M motherboard and am having serious boot issues. When the system boots from power off state I get GRUB menu with 5 second count down to launch the FreeNAS target. This part works correctly. When the FreeNAS kernel starts to load I get a checksum failure.
I am using a USB stick, 8G PNY, for the boot image. There are two strange behaviors I observed. First, I get the same error with a clean install on a SATA drive as I get on the USB stick, thus I believe there is an issue with the BIOS. Second, if I enter the BIOS and then exit the system boots perfect. I can reboot indefinitely and I still get a perfect boot. If I power cycle, then boot fails after GRUB menu. If I power cycle and enter the BIOS and exit, then the system boots correctly.
The Asrock Q1900M motherboard has UEFI BIOS. I have legacy support enabled and I have tried lots of settings to no improvement.
My objective is to run the server headless, but due to having to enter the BIOS each time the power cycles makes things difficult.
Everything I have described occurs using version FreeNAS-9.3-RELEASE.iso dated 12/30/2014 and FreeNAS-9.3-CURRENT-201503130047.iso.
Any ideas to get the system to boot without going through the BIOS?
